Sex, diabetes, and low blood sugar risk
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how sexual activity affects blood sugar levels and the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with diabetes who use insulin and a continuous glucose monitor. By participating, you'll help researchers understand the safety of sexual activity for people with diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and use insulin.
- You use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that checks your sugar levels throughout the day.
- You can mark in the CGM app when you start sexual activity.
- You agree to take part in the study for 3 months.

This trial is checking how well blood sugar is controlled in adults recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (within the last 3 months). It aims to see if current treatments or lifestyle changes are working and may help guide future care.
This study uses a wearable sensor (like a smartwatch) to track your body's signals when blood sugar drops low. The goal is to understand low blood sugar patterns better, which may help improve prevention and treatment.
This study tests a new continuous glucose monitor that checks your blood sugar levels in real time. It aims to see how accurate and safe it is for people with diabetes.
This study checks how well periodic continuous glucose monitoring works for adults with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to wear a sensor that tracks glucose more often than finger-stick checks, which can help improve day-to-day glucose control.
This study is looking for adults with type 1 diabetes to help improve guidelines for preventing and treating low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The goal is to make recommendations that are more practical and safer for people like you.
This study uses math models to understand how your blood sugar and hormones respond to food and insulin. You'll eat study foods and provide blood samples so researchers can better predict how your body handles diabetes.
